What's up with the Panther countdown on Apple's home page?

The Panther countdown seems to be broken. Another web monkey error?



The clock just sits at zero, and the right-hand panel of the top image shows the obvious blue-rectangle goof of forgetting to say border="0" in the <img...> tag.



Kind of spoils the drama of the countdown.

    I'm at work, stuck using Windows XP. The page is still broken for me as of 1:22 PM EDT, using either IE or Mozilla.

    Netscape, FireBird, Camino, Mozilla seem to be having a problem, looks more like there are two images being used by Apple one for the counter and one for the box, not a major issue.

    It seems to be a PC specific issue. My PB sees the correct time left until 8PM, but my work PC gets the "00:00" time left.



    For me, "00:00" is correct because Mr. FedEx dropped mine off an hour ago!

    Looks like they've replaced it with a QT movie now.

    Shut up, I would say, except that is mean. I know you don't mean to be bad.



    However, I do have to say that you are not quite correct.



    No respectable web developer should EVER say border="0" inside of an image tag.



    That attribute is years, years, years out of date.

    Immature web designers think that things like that are major gaffes, when really they are very minor issues.



    In other words, you should use a style sheet, but a better way of handling a simple website is to realize that for many people the blue border is 100% a positive thing.



    Isn't that why it is there at all?
